Arctic Blast Facial
Anti-aging and skin rejuvenation: Cryotherapy improves the general condition of the skin by increasing oxygen and nutrient supply. During this facial treatment the skin vessels and capillaries undergo a period of vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation. The intense cold activates collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin, leaving your skin firm and tight. this will smooth out facial lines, reduce blemishes/wrinkles, and tighten skin.
Our Arctic Blast Facial is different from a traditional cryo facial, which is when an aesthetician blows freezing air in circles all over your face for about 7-8 minutes.
The ice-cold air of a regular cryo facial is indeed very effective for anti-aging. When your skin is subjected to a freezing current of air, the cold penetrates deeply into the skin. This causes the blood vessels to constrict, which in turn activates collagen. Collagen is the scaffolding-like structural protein in your skin. The more collagen fibers your skin has underneath it, and the stronger those fibers are, the tighter and firmer your skin will look.
The Arctic Blast Facial accomplishes this, albeit in a different way. As opposed to blowing cold air on the face, this uses a wand applicator coated with a gel that’s safe for all facial types. The wand is attached to a medical device designed by the Italian company, Pagani. The Pagani Cryo T-Shock device not only applies collagen-boosting cold, but it also applies thermal heat during the facial.
Who Can Benefit
For those with problem skin (rosacea, eczema, or acne), the alternating heat and cold currents shrink large pores, remove trapped toxins from under the skin, and encourage fresh blood circulation and increased oxygen and nutrients to penetrate into the skin cells.
How It Works
This is the crucial difference between regular cryo and Cryo T-Shock (the “T” stands for thermal.) When thermal heat is applied to your skin, it opens up (dilates) the blood vessels. This alternating blood vessel constriction and dilation activates immune cells and removes harmful bacteria, making it highly effective for facial cleansing.
